Chapter 759: The Titan Problem, Favor Negotiation

"You mean those iron bumps? What do you want them for?"

Upon hearing Tony's request, Zhou Yi frowned, and then asked him strangely.

"How should I put it, fill the strategic vacancy?"

Scratching his head, even Tony himself was a little embarrassed to explain. The original U.S. government had deep pockets, or whatever it took, to build these titan machines. The large amount of money even directly caused the Ministry of Defense's expenditure to reach a deficit. They were very happy, but for Tony who took over, it was a bit terrible.

Especially now that he still has to operate the Ultron system and the omnic production line, the tightness of the economy has reached its limit. This is the disadvantage of optimizing the sales price of omnics. It is so bad that the current Ministry of Defense does not have that much money to rebuild its own coastal defense system.

You know, the Americans have always stretched their coastal defenses very long, and they can even build the first, second, and third island chains outside other people's territorial waters. But now, let alone causing trouble for others at their doorsteps, even the United States does not have so much energy to maintain its own territorial waters.

And the main reason for this is that negotiations with mutants have been in a very unfavorable state. Although considering the friendship between Zhou Yi and Tony, the mutants headed by Magneto reluctantly accepted the olive branch of peace offered by the Americans. But this does not mean that they have to cooperate with the Americans in everything. For example, there is no trace of the several large fleets they collected overseas.

And because this was caused by the actions of the Americans themselves, even Tony didn't have the thick skin to negotiate with the mutants and let them put those fleets back. And this has also led to the fact that the current coastal defense line of the United States is really a mess.

You know, Americans have always been used to treating the entire Pacific Ocean as their own back garden. This made them huddle near their own territorial waters, how could they get used to it. Therefore, the protests and complaints of the US Navy have basically never stopped. Even if Tony wanted to ignore it, it was somewhat impossible.

And he didn't want to negotiate with the mutants, so he could only focus on the city property of Huiyao City, those Titan machines that had been confiscated by Corona.

The Titan machine is the largest military expenditure since the founding of the United States, and its own capabilities are not inferior to those warships above 10,000 tons. As long as these titan machines can be restarted and remodeled, there is no problem at all in maintaining coastal defense security.

He even said that as long as the military's latest aerospace aircraft carrier leaves the factory, he can rely on the high mobility of the aerospace aircraft carrier and the powerful combat effectiveness of the Titan machine to build a battle group that is stronger than the US overseas fleet. Of course, the premise of this idea is that he can get the Titan machine back. Otherwise, he can only wait for the economy to ease back,

Re-manufactured a new Titan machine to complete his own idea.

Regarding his thoughts, Zhou Yi can also guess a general idea. He stroked his chin and thought for a while. Then he responded.

"It's not a big problem, but it's not enough for me to agree. You must at least say hello to Eric and Charles. After all, this is a weapon of war that you specially made to deal with them. If you can't If you give them a reasonable explanation, it will obviously lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings. I don’t think you want the mutants to misunderstand the US government at this time.”

"You're right." Tony took off the napkin on his lap and stood up straight away. "Then, I will trouble you to make an introduction. I think if I visit the door rashly alone, the possibility of being called out may be even higher."

"It's really rare for you to have such self-knowledge." Pushing the plate in front of him, Zhou Yi also stood up. "Okay, anyway, I'm free recently, so leave this referral task to me."

"Man, I knew you could be depended upon."

With a smile, Tony expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yi in this way. As for this, Zhou Yi just pouted, and explained to his three children. The content is nothing more than asking them to be obedient and take good care of their younger brother by the way. Of course, it is inevitable that they will help with cover and say something nice.

Without making Tony wait long, Zhou Yi finished explaining the matter. Then, he drove Tony directly to the City of Steel, and directly to Eric's office.

"I'm a little surprised that you can come to the door in person."

Magneto, who was working, looked up and saw Zhou Yi and Tony coming in, and his face immediately showed some irrepressible consternation. All along, his attitude towards Zhou Yi has been changing. The most obvious thing is that his antagonism from the beginning turned directly into Zhou Yi's command. After seeing Zhou Yi's powerful strength in the war, his attitude changed again. That is to change from the respect for the strong to the awe of the gods.

He already regarded Zhou Yi as a person of a completely different class from himself, and as a person completely higher than his level. Therefore, his attitude is really a little too respectful. Respect to the extent that even Tony was a little surprised.

"I think it would be the best thing for you to bring me here."

He inevitably muttered, but this muttering immediately attracted Eric's attention. If Magneto's attitude towards Zhou Yi and Magneto is respectful, then his attitude towards Tony, Mr. President who is now very popular in the entire United States, is inevitably a little strange.

"Look who is here, isn't this the famous President Tony Stark? Please forgive my offense, I really have not been notified, you will come to me. If I knew in advance, I promise, today My compatriots outside will be very enthusiastic."

"Can I take that as a compliment?"

As an expert at ridiculing people, Tony naturally heard the meaning behind his words. If it was normal, he must have directly blasted back. But now, as a person who wants more from the other party, he has to suppress his violent temper and show a good attitude.

With Zhouyi here, Magneto naturally couldn't be too obvious. Especially when he knew that the relationship between Tony and Zhou Yi was still very good. So he could only nod his head and replied.

"Of course, my meaning is absolutely commendatory. Can you explain your purpose? President Stark, I think your time should be very precious, and so is mine. So there is no need for us to waste time on such polite words. do you think so?"

"Very correct, I agree." Nodding his head, Tony didn't have much interest in playing tricks with Magneto. So he directly stated his purpose. "Because there are some loopholes in the national defense of the United States, so I hope to get back some of our lost things from here. For example, the Titan machine."

"Titan machine?" Hearing this name, Magneto's eyes narrowed immediately. "You mean the machine that was built to kill us."

"Sorry, I know that thing can easily touch your nerves. But, you should know that technology is just technology and does not contain anything else. We need these machines not to deal with you, but to protect the defense of this country .If you have any concerns, I can sign the deal."

He raised his hand, showing his innocence for Magneto's warning. Tony assured him so. But this made Magneto pull a very disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Agreement? Sorry, this is something that I can't believe at all. Since World War II, I have seen the Americans sign countless agreements, and I have seen them tear up their own agreements countless times. For this thing, we all Know what it's about. So, I don't put my trust in these things at all."

"Please, sir. What you said has nothing to do with me. If you are really worried about this problem, I can vouch for it in my own name. If you have other doubts. Well, I can get more people to come Make a guarantee."

Having said that, Tony gave Zhou Yi a quiet look. As for this kind of help-seeking behavior, Zhou Yi could only smile wryly and said.

"Okay. Eric, if you have any worries. Then add me. I promise, if there is any problem with these titan machines, I will personally take care of them. Is that okay? "

"Of course, that's good." Seeing Zhou Yi participating, Magneto nodded immediately. Said. "Of course things are different with your guarantee. I can doubt those politicians, but I can't doubt the gods."

"Very well, then I think we've come to an agreement. Is that so?"

Heaving a sigh of relief, Tony was really glad that Magneto let go. Seriously, if this guy really doesn't want to nod, then he really doesn't know what to do. Forcibly pulling things back is an option. But the consequences of that are very serious.

He had to appease the emotions of the mutants, because one mistake, the waves caused by the mutants would not be much smaller than everything caused by Hydra. And that is absolutely unbearable for the current United States. So, no matter what, Zhou Yi has done him a big favor.

He will not thank Magneto, but Zhou Yi. Because he knows very well what made all this change. At the same time, he knew better what kind of treatment he would get without Zhou Yi. Even though he is the president now, there are still many people in this world who are unwilling to give the president face.

Therefore, when he and Zhou Yi set foot on the return journey, he immediately said to Zhou Yi.

"Dude, this time I really have to thank you. You did me another favor?"

"It's a small thing. Besides, I happen to have something that needs your help." (To be continued.)
